WHO ARE WE ?

THE TEAM

La Tavola is an Italian company that designs, manufactures and markets high-end tabletop items.

WORLDWIDE IMPACT La Tavola provides in-loco service and assistance through its tightknit network of worldwide distribution partners.

THE FOUNDERS

ROOTS

Brothers Sergio and Giulio Sambonet, having been behind the success of other prominent industry players (the Sambonet Company, Sant’Andrea and Table Top Engineering & Design), now bring a lifetime of industry-specific experience to their new company, La Tavola.

Today, Matteo represents the seventh generation of the Sambonet family still filled with passion for creating beautiful and innovative table top products.

La Tavola is a proud representative of Italian creativity, design and manufacturing.

la tavola’s

flatware Designing beautiful flatware is not within everyone’s capability.

Good taste, sensitivity, and above all else, years of trade experience are required.

Every single item is the result of painstaking attention to detail that makes each pattern unique. To create a great flatware pattern one needs to make sure all of the right ingredients - weight, harmony of shape, proportion, ergonomics, balance - are present in exactly the right proportions.

The patterns in this collection have been designed by La Tavola’s R. & D. Team under the supervision of Giulio and Sergio Sambonet.

Those personally designed by them are identified by the trademarks:

Titanium coating: A unique and engaging way to present your flatware Based on PVD technology (Physical Vapour Deposition), the titanium coating process allows the formation of a highly adherent film which has exceptional chemical and physical characteristics such as an extremely hard surface and high resistance to corrosion.

The titanium coating is available in Black, Gold, Venetian Gold and Platinum Champagne.

la tavola’s Holloware

Cafe & CLUB A holloware line is identified by the style of its coffee and tea pots.

Those of the Cafe & Club collection are characterized by their unique lid - the one-of-a-kind knob conjures up memories of the berets of Parisian painters who, on nice spring days, would lay out their easels along the Seine river.

The harmonious silhouette created by the bone china cups of the Porcelain & Bone China collection creates a happy communion between metal and porcelain.

“The design of the cafe club line is contemporary and versatile, with a liveLy and dynamic character�

la tavola’s SILVERware

BALLET

Inspired by the silverware of the first class restaurants on luxury cruise liners that sailed the oceans at the beginning of the twentieth-century, the Ballet collection revives the opulence of that exclusive world, with a 21st century touch.

The collection sits beautifully on the tables of today’s new temples of luxury, themselves the work of talented designers and stylists.

Ballet represents the height of elegance, raising the bar of tabletop presentation to new levels.

“Setting the table with Ballet cannot but inspire an indulgent and leisurely dining experience�
